CAN-NOZZLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 224,577, dated February 17, 1880.

` Application filed December 3, 1879. i

y To all whom it may concern.:

Beit known that I, GEORGE BROWN@ of the the city and county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gan-Nozzles, which i improvement is fully set forth in the following i specification and accompanyingdrawings.

` each nozzle with a fia-nge, whereby it is sol- The said invention consists inproviding dered i to a can, the side wall, base, and said l tlange being struck up or otherwise formed from one piece of metal, and the said nozzle being combined and arranged with said can :y so as to cover the outlet thereof.

In theaccompanying drawings, I1`igure l represents a side elevation of a can with' my nozzle and cap attached thereto. In this Iigure the cap is shown as unthreaded, and the side-wall of the nozzle is concealed from view. Fig. 2 represents a vertical section of a detached nozzle unthreaded constructed in accordance with my in vent-ion. Fig. 8 represents a side elevation, in detail, of a screw-threaded nozzle constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 4 represents a vertical section through the device shown in Fig. 3 and Fig.

5 represents a can with a nozzle attached and the cap slightlyremoved, the can being inclined to pour out its contents. Inthis view the nozzle and the cap are shown as screwthreaded. y y

. In said drawings, A designates a` can having an opening, et, in its top; andB designates a nozzle, consisting of base Inside wall,"c, and

flange d, all formed from one piece of metal by -striking up and crimping, or in any other convenient way. The annular flange dis soldered to the can A, so as to surround outlet-hole a, which hole is covered by base b. A cap, B', flts over the side wall of said nozzle, and excludes dust therefrom. It also protects the outer end thereof. The connection between the cap and nozzle may be by means of screwthreads, or the contiguous surfaces may be smooth, as preferred. The flange (Z affords as secure a means of attachment as would be found in a nozzle having a base and spout of diameter equal to the combined diameter of base b and iiange d, while my nozzle requires less material than would be required by a nozzle thus constructed, and is also more convenient for use. The nozzle, spout', or side wall c need be of no greater diameter than opening a.

' When the contents are to be poured out of the can, the cover B is removed and the base b is cut away in the usual manner. After a portion of the contents has been poured out the cap B may be replaced `to prevent accidental loss of any part of the remainder, also to exclude dust, as stated.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is- In combination with a can having a dis-' charge-opening, a nozzle consisting of a bottom, b, a flange, d, and a cylindrical side wall, c, all in one piece, said iiange being soldered to said can, as set forth.
